Makeup

I have acne and big dark circles (that never seem to want to disappear mind you...) so I use foundation and 1/2 the time I will put on under eye concealer and 1/4 of the time I use regular concealer. I wear eyeliner and mascara because you cannot see my ridiculously long eyelashes without it lol, and they definitely make my eyes look bigger when I do use both of those and a lash curler. Otherwise it depends on the day and situation if I wear eye shadow cause it's not necessary. If I could get rid of the acne and lighten up my dark circles I would probably just stick to eyeliner and mascara.

However I personally do not like the look of girls that wax off their eyebrows and color them back in... nor do I like the crazy non-matching colors they paint on their eyes... or the ladies that fill in their dark circles with freaking eyeshadow... really? It should all least look good on your face if you are going to wear it in public and a giant light blue circle under your eyes just doesn't look good at all... simple and little is better, I totally agree with a natural look being gorgeous!

no body has perfect skin, no under eye bags, lush lashes, etc. a little makeup to smooth out the complexion and enhance can do everybody some good. It' about how you put it on, there is a right way. I think if your guy is complaining about your orange foundation getting on his clothes, you're doing it wrong.

Today I didn't have time to leave the house without makeup before meeting up with a friend. She was all dressed up and had her makeup fully done. I felt a little bad. Maybe it looked like I was just squeezing her into my day rather than taking time to have a nice lunch. If I never wore makeup, that wouldn't be an issue, but I do most of the time.

I love experimenting with it but I wear minimal makeup during the day, if I go out for an evening I wear a little more.

Makeup is best worn when it is used to accentuate a woman's features instead of trying to change their appearance completely.

It depends on the situation. For my previous job I never wore anything more than just eyeliner and mascara; but then that was the kind of job where you could show up in sweatpants, your hair in a ponytail and nobody cared. Not that I went quite that far, but my usual work attire *was* jeans and sneakers with a casual sweater or top. However, now that I work in a more proper office, I wear skirts and dresses more (because, frankly, office pants are generally ugly even if they fit well); and because I wear skirts more, I wear heels more; and because I have both a skirt and heels, I usually put more effort into my makeup as well: foundation powder, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara every day. though I usually don't wear any lipstick or gloss. Most of the time I don't have my nails painted though I do make sure they're in a decent shape.

I absolutely always remove the makeup before going to sleep though; sometimes even as soon as I get home in the evening.

I very much agree that women wear make up for themselves and other women. It's a kind of war paint, lol.

Putting a little makeup on (a fairly natural look) is part of my every day routine, been doing that since I was about 14 lol - it gives me confidence to face the day knowing I look the best I can....as someone who always thought as a teenager they were never pretty enough or slim enough wearing make up makes the difference

each to their own, you do what makes you feel good, with or without, no biggie

p.s when hubby and I went on our first cruise a few years ago there were many tears when I discovered I'd forgotten to pack my make up!! I wouldn't feel 'dressed' without it LOL - hubby knowing how upset I was bought me all I needed from the shop on board the ship, it cost him heavily but he knew I wouldn't be happy if I didn't have my 'slap' on lol

I wear make-up because I love wearing it. I wear it most days to work, just a 5 min natural polished look to help me look a wee bit older and more serious.

When I was younger my boyfriends did tell me they preferred me without make-up but that was because I didn't know what I was doing and wore pretty over the top make-up.

Now usually they can't tell the difference tho I at the moment I'm finding I have forgot to wear my make up when with my boyfriend.

Cheers,
